I can't afford the PIP calls anymore! In tears!

Is anybody claiming carers for you (based on your previous DLA award)?
Social services may also give you Direct payments so you can pay for a carer but that would take time to arrange.
Edit; I see you have mentioned you cannot afford your PA anymore. Is this because carers has stopped or is it due to a reduction in income (from DLA to standard PIP)? I understood you could still get carers for standard daily living.
I also see you intend to contact social services about getting help.0
